Capitol Food Company Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fermented apple juice. The process begins by crushing apples, then squeezing out the juice. Bacteria and yeast are added to this liquid to start the alcoholic fermentation process, which converts the sugars to alcohol. In a second fermentation step, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria. Acetic acid and malic acid combine to give this vinegar its sour taste. This product is used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys.
